ESP32 Forum

When flashing the device the default baud rate is 115200. I want to change it to 1152000.
I press F1 then select ESP-IDF- Device Configuration. From there i select Baud Rate, and enter in 1152000.
This does not change the upload rate, nor does it change the monitor baud rate to 1152000, so what does this setting do?

Also, can you guys please change the color scheme for IDF menuconfig, that White background with light gray text is the worst colors to choose.

1152000 is not a standard baudrate; possibly your OS or serial driver doesn't like it. Perhaps try 1000000, as it's a bit more standard.

It looks like a bug. In the meantime I was able to change the rate by adding extra entry in "settings.json":

Thank you that worked. On the "official" ESP32 modules I have used 1152000 works. On others it's to fast.

Thanks for reporting this bug, we have found the root cause and are working towards a fix, will also make this available ASAP.

Update: The baudrate bug is fixed and released in v0.5.0

Thanks for the update. There is another bug. After you have flashed the part, and open the serial terminal. Make some changes to your code, recompile, and go to flash again it cant because the serial terminal is still open. When you flash, it should first check if the terminal is open, close it, then flash and re-connect again. This is what PlatformIO does, which is super nice.

After analysis we found that this feature is already there and if you're using idf monitor inside vscode and trigger flash from vscode it will close the monitor and then only start flashing...

If this is not working please open a bug report here: https://github.com/espressif/vscode-esp ... new/choose

But it does not reopen the monitor after the flash.

Thats because we don't store the state of the monitor and flash should only flash and not open monitor, if you want please use the Build, Flash and start a monitor on your device command, which trigger build -> flash -> monitor
